I'm worried about an encounter I had 17 days ago with a male of unknown HIV status. I gave him an unprotected blowjob with ejaculation, which I know is an activity that carries some, albeit low, risk.

However, I also gave him a handjob. He held my hand, which had semen on it, and then he started fingering me with that same hand, probably 5-10 minutes at most after he came, and I'm pretty certain there was still-wet semen on his hand at the time.

I can't seem to find consistent information about what the risk is from this kind of exposure. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I've had some abdominal cramping and slight diarrhea the last couple of days, which I suspect is just anxiety, but the totally irrational side of me is convinced it's ARS. I plan to get tested at 6 weeks, but there's not much I can do in the meantime but stress.
